I get it delivered to my door in East Nokomis. There was a bit about studying a better connection to Shepard Road at 35E. I'll summarize this evening if I can look at my phone for a few minutes on Valentine's Day.

Sorry I was bad to assume it was online. But thanks for the heads up on where in MPLS you can pick up a Villager. When I'm at coffee at Cahoots, which will be directly across Selby from the Vintage I always pick up a Villager.

These are the numbers i've heard for floor count. 50, 35,28,27,25,24. These numbers include the ramp which is 6 or 7. I'm hoping for 24 or 35 or 50 to break up the height similarities of the surrounding new projects.. Stadium and Wells Fargo towers. My once strong feeling that something big would go here is now all but gone. I'm hoping for something in the 18-24 story range to break-up the height similarities some.

I love St. Paul showing some desire it's definitely the first step in bettering the city and it's architecture. Some really good concepts there, and shows that they do understand where some of their problem areas are.

Is that really two different apartments? They have the same address. Even though one calls it "West Grand Avenue Apartments" and the other calls it "Grand West Apartments" I would guess that these two items are both related to the same apartment.

The hotel and Macy's site look great, but I'm very much not sold on the riverfront concept. The tower is shiny and new and exciting and utterly at odds with everything else in the city in a bad way. And the cliff-hugging portion is the glass version of a big blank wall along a sidewalk. Our geology is beautiful, why hide even more of it?

I spoke with Sue at Subtext last week. It sounds like they are hoping to "bleed" into that space, mostly for used books and maybe some other type of "creative" venture. That space was just fixed up recently for no particular tenant, but presumably so it could be marketed for rent.

Coleman wants parking meters in commercial nodes. Cue neighborhood freakout with all the expected cries of "nobody will shop here anymore!", "people will just go to Rosedale instead", "people are just going to park in front of my house instead", and "what about poor people?! Won't somebody please think of the poor people?!".
